Description:
Join Wilbur and Orville Wright on an adventure through the history and future of aeronautics!

You’ll meet Bessie Coleman, the first woman of African American and Native American descent to hold a pilot’s license; break the sound barrier with Chuck Yeager; and cross the Atlantic with Amelia Earhart.
